Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of maternal environmental risk factor exposure and gene polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) on congenital heart disease (CHD) in infants,and to assess whether there is an interactive effect between maternal environmental risk factors and gene polymorphisms of CYP450 on CHD.Methods A hospital-based matched case-control study (1:1) was conducted from October 2011 to January 2013.A total of 160 children of 0-7 years old with isolated CHD (cases) and 160 children without any congenital malformations (controls) were recruited.Mothers of the cases and controls were interviewed to obtain information on demographic characteristics of the mother-baby pairs,as well as maternal toxicants exposures during the first trimester of pregnancy.The genotype of CYP450 was determined with polymerase chain reaction restricted fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to assess the association between maternal environmental exposure and gene polymorphisms of CYP450 and the risk of CHD in their infants.Three indexes were used to evaluate the biological interactions between the CYP1A1 homozygous mutant type and CHD.Results The results of multivariate conditional logistic regression demonstrated that the offspring's homozygous mutant type of CYP1A1 rs1048943 was a protective factor for CHD (odds ratio[OR]=0.369,95% confidence interval[CI]:0.138-0.986).Maternal usage of hair dyeing during 3 months before the pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio[aOR]=5.62,95%CI:1.401-22.541),exposed to passive smoking during 3 months before the pregnancy (aOR=2.511;95%CI:1.342-4.699) and during the first trimester (aOR=2.441,95%CI:1.306-4.561),living in a house decorated within past 3 years during the first trimester (aOR=4.159,95%CI:1.698-10.182),and taking analgesic or antipyretic drug during the first trimester (aOR=3.901,95%CI=1.271-11.971) were associated with an increased risk of CHD.The effects of environmental factors mentioned above on CHD could be attenuated when the infants carrying homozygous mutant type of CYP1A1 rs1048943,but the interactive effect indexes were of no statistical significance.Conclusion Carrying homozygous mutant type of CYP1A1 plays a protective role on the occurrence of CHD for offsprings.Avoiding or reducing maternal exposure to environmental risk factors before the pregnancy and during the first trimester might help to prevent the offspring from congenital heart disease.

Objective To investigate the latent classes of health risk behaviors among rural left-behind children in Sichuan province and to provide evidences for making targeted intervention plans.Methods Totally 1 596 rural left-behind children from two township high schools in Zizhong county,Sichuan province were surveyed with the Health Related Behavior Questionnaire for Adolescents.We carried out latent class analysis using MPLUS 7.4 software.Results Among the left-behind students,the identified four latent classes for eight types of health risk behaviors were high-risk behavior group (involving 4%[69]of the students with relatively higher conditional probabilities for all the health risk behaviors),high self-injury and suicide behavior group (involving 20%[321]of the students),moderate-risk behavior group (30%[479]),and low-risk behavior group (46%[727]).Multinominal logistic regression analysis revealed that boy students (odds ratio[OR]=2.221,95% confidence interval[95%CI]:1.319-3.740) and the students with the parents having poor conjugal relationship (OR=4.491,95%CI:2.480-9.727) were more likely to be classified into the high-risk behavior group;the students with higher living expenses (≥ 700 yuan RMB per month) (OR=2.032,95%CI:1.175-9.727) and with the parents having poor conjugal relationship (OR=2.983,95%CI:1.927-4.616) were more likely to be classified into the self-injury and suicide behavior group;and boy students (OR=2.109,95%CI:1.654-2.689) and the students with higher monthly living expenses (OR=2.448,95%CI:1.497-4.004),with the parents having general conjugal relationship (OR=1.774,95%CI:1.305-2.411),and during the first year of senior high school (OR=2.016,95%CI=1.409-2.883) were more likely to be classified into the moderate-risk behavior group.Conclusion There are obvious latent classes in health risk behaviors and the proportion of clustered health risk behaviors are different among left-behind children.More attention should be paid to the left-behind boys with high living expenses and with the parents having poor conjugal relationship.
